FRENCH AMMONAL:
-------------------
Type: Low Explosive
Ingredients: 86% Ammonium Nitrate
6% Stearic Acid
8% Aluminum Powder
Description: French ammonal is an easily improvised low explosive
mixture. It is generally less effective than an equal
weight of TNT. The material is loaded by pressing it into
a suitable container. Initiation by an Engineer's special
blasting cap is recommended.
Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

para 1401.
TETRYTOL:
-------------
Type: High Explosive
Ingredients: 75% Tetryl
25% TNT
Description: Tetryol is a high explosive bursting charge. It is used as
a demolition explosive, a bursting charge for mines, and
in artillery shells. The explosive force of tetrytol is
approximately the same as that of TNT. It may be initiated
by a blasting cap. Tetrytol is usually loaded by casting.
Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

FLAMABILITY OF GASES:
-------------------------
Type: Gas Explosive
Ingredients: Explosive Gas
Description: Under some conditions, common gases act as fuel. When mixed
with air, they will burn rapidly or even explode. For some
fuel-air mixtures, the range over which the explosion can
occur is quite wide while for others the limits are narrow.
The upper and lower amounts of common fuels that will cause
an ignitable mixture are shown in the table below. The
quantity shown is the percentage by volume of air. If the
fuel-air mixture is too lean or too rich, it will not
ignite. The amounts shown are therefore called limits of
inflamability.
